AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo automatic npm lifecycle hook or concealed payload was found. The package nevertheless installs agent extensions and executes project runtime checks, so it warrants a warning under the agent-extension policy.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running taskless init, especially with --no-interactive, or running a runtime rule.
Impact
It can influence supported coding agents and execute code supplied in project runtime rules.
Mechanism
Agent-skill installation and dynamic execution of project rule checks.
AI rationale
No automatic npm lifecycle hook or concealed payload was found. The package nevertheless installs agent extensions and executes project runtime checks, so it warrants a warning under the agent-extension policy.
Evidence
dist/index.jsassets/reference.json.taskless/skills/taskless/SKILL.md.agents/skills/taskless/SKILL.md.claude/skills/taskless/SKILL.md.cursor/skills/taskless/SKILL.md.opencode/skills/taskless/SKILL.md
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Unknown with high false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the taskless executable.
- The CLI detects Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and generic agent-skill directories.
- Its installer writes skill/command files and can remove prior managed entries in the project.
- Its runtime-rule harness dynamically imports a supplied check file and executes its default function.
- The bundled reference declares runtime rules using check.ts.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
- Agent-file mutation is reached through the user-invoked init command, including an explicit non-interactive option.
- The inspected eval examples are rule fixtures, not an executable hidden payload.
- Observed authentication requests and local token storage are tied to explicit CLI authentication flows.
